In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their slider sweeps across the zone and has exceptional depth. Their fourseam fastball generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly above average velo. Their sinker results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has well above average velo, has slight armside run and has some natural sinking action. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2025) is thrown extremely hard, has an obvious armside fade, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2025) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has little cutting action, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sink.
